How many of your followers have actually engaged you?

I have about two hundred but I’m pretty sure that maybe less than forty have actually messaged me or commented on anything I have posted. I think that makes eighty per cent simply voyeurs!

I find that perplexing because the whole meaning of this place in my mind is comparisons of the world in which we live, our individual experiences of life and our take on how the human family is facing the challenges that we are facing today.

If you compare now to when my grandfather wrote personal letters via telegram to my grandmother during WWII, you will be left wanting this world to hold and have more meaning, as he spent hours just finding a telegram just before the end of the war to write her. He would take his time allotted to write, and when he couldn't finish his words, would wait until tomorrow to hopefully finish writing to her?

We lost some of it by being able to reach out at any time, and by virtue, losing how much it must have meant?

It's easier to click on a button than it is to actually spend time thinking and engaging...

Not many. A very few on "significant" subjects, but most often in response to nude/sexual subjects, and those responses are mostly very short.

I engaged with a lot more on EP than here. Not sure if I changed or it was the differences in people on the website.

I agree and, while I don't always engage, I do when I feel like I have something to say.
The exchange of views (whether similar or not) is an important part of the site.
I don't see the point of lurking and not communicating at all.
Win some, lose some. People have tik tok short attention spans and it depends on what they like.
